Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[ruth1]

I was having a good look over the banties today and for the first time had a good look at their feet, and noticed this on one of them

 

 

Not the greatest pic trying to hold chook in one hand and photo with the other.When I saw the dark curving Nail on both feet, I thought im sure thats a spur but their both meant to be girls

The other one doesnt have them. what do you think?

 

This is the bantie in question

 

Both Banties, questionable one in front( I think). they both look the same to me

 

Any ideas folks?

not the best of photos but id say no . spurs happen further up behind the heal and above the back toe . i think ....

I cant work out which bit you mean. spurs are abbove where our ankle bone sare if you can understand what Imean. More like a dew claw

Can't tell what we are meant to be looking at amid that explosion of feathers.

 

Not easy to photograph a chicken one handed, I admit.

 

'B' below is a spur.

(gorgeous birds by the way, first time I've seen anything like them..)

Cheers, I think your right and its not a spur and more like a dew claw type thing, I didnt think she looked like a boy, just the claw thing worried me. They are so fluffy its practically impossible to see anything.

I noticed this on one of mine but she is definately a girl!

I think...

 

Mine are banties too!

We had these on the bantams at the farm I used to work at.

We had nail clippers and cut them down (to stop them getting caught and damaged),

don't cut them too short or you could cut the quick.

If you hold them up to the light, sometimes you can see the blood vessels.
